Firefly Paradise - a photo on Flickriver

Firefly Paradise

            A late Spring golden hour. I was struck by the golden light hitting the tops of the trees, and filtering through the leafs behind our kitchen.

Last year was a pretty dry Summer, but Spring had brought enough rain to make our yard a haven for fireflies, who flashed incredibly every night until the property manager had the yard mowed. This summer I've asked to not have it mowed, hoping to see the same activity from the fireflies but I has been the driest on record for Southwest Virginia. The fireflies emerged roughly a month early this year, but never hit the level of activity they did last year.
